“This project is ambitious, but we want as many people as possible on board the electric vehicle revolution, as part of our transition to a low emissions future,” Miles said in a statement. “Today I’m announcing the first 18 towns and cities that make up phase one of the Electric Super Highway and will, once operational in the next six months, make it possible to drive an electric vehicle from the state’s southern border to the Far North.”
Once built (a time scale hasn’t been announced yet), the charging stations will be free to use at first, to encourage people to use electric vehicles. All of the energy supplied will also be supplied by renewable energy, which probably makes sense considering how much sunshine Australia gets.
